James Bond stars in bad moods: ‘We had a slanging match’ How 007 directors handle on set | Films | Entertainment

Michael Apted directed Brosnan’s third Bond movie, 1999’s The World Is Not Enough and found a similar pursuit for perfection with his 007.

He shared: “Pierce was a real professional, he’s a very committed guy and he wants it all to be perfect. So you had to politely remind him of that. If he thought something was taking too long or was asking how many set-ups there were, you’d say, ‘It all comes down to making it more different, and authentic.’ I think he liked it because he had to push it to another level. It was a challenge, and he took it.”

On the most difficult time on set, he shared: “Every day in Switzerland was a nightmare day for me because I was about the only person that couldn’t ski. I was out of my depth, so that made it pretty difficult. I had to run along behind them, trying to keep up with it all. They were all pretty good skiers, and they were going at a hell of a speed.”
